Instrument Short Name: Sequoia LISST
Community Standard Description
(http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0044/)
Instrument Description:

A self-contained unit which measures the scattering of LASER light at a number of angles. This primary measurement is mathematically inverted to give a grain size distribution, and also scaled to obtain the volume scattering function. The size distribution is presented as concentration in each of the grain-size class bins. Optical transmission, water depth and temperature are recorded as supporting measurements.

The Sequoia LISST 100-X series instruments are available in two range sizes: 1.25-250 microns (Type B) and 2.5-500 microns (Type C).

Dataset-specific description

The particle size distribution (PSD) and volume concentration of particles in the T. weissiflogii cultures was measured using laser scattering following the method of Rzadkowolski and Thornton (2012) using a Laser In Situ Scattering and Transmissometry instrument (LISST-100X, Type C; Sequoia Scientific).
